Analyzing the Ravens’ 2024 cap and floor…
The Baltimore Ravens
The ceiling: 13-4
The playing field (without long-term injury to the quarterback): 8-9
The Ravens have opted to rejuvenate their offensive line by signing guards Kevin Zeitler and John Simpson elsewhere and trading right tackle Morgan Moses to the New York Jets. The three new front-line starters — Baltimore hasn’t officially named them yet — will have a big impact, especially in pass defense. When Lamar Jackson has been sacked four or more times in his career, Baltimore is 8-9 (.470). When Jackson has been sacked three or fewer times, the Ravens are 50-10 (.833). — Jamison Hensley
are well-staffed at several key positions. With the head coach still on the job and a turnover at the defensive coordinator position, not many are guaranteed to be available. A handful of players have had excellent workouts in the offseason. With GM Eric DeCosta signing Derrick Henry, the Ravens are among the Super Bowl favorites in the AFC. However, all NFL teams are just one bad injury or tainted chemistry away from disaster. So what will the Baltimore Ravens look like in 2024? Jamison Hensley took a quick look at the machinations most likely to push this team in a certain direction. Biggest X-Factor: Offensive Line Roger Rosengarten was drafted in the second round, but Patrick Mekari is listed as the first-team right tackle ahead of Saturday’s second preseason game against the Falcons. Ronsengarten has the tools, but he’ll have to earn his appearances. Daniel Faalele is the right guard after the position switch and is listed as the starter ahead of veteran Ben Cleveland. Faalele is one of the greatest right guards in the NFL, but he must maintain his momentum.
